How to Make Holiday Honey Lemon Punch

Sounds like an easy to-do list for the holidays, doesn’t it? In our house, soon we’ll be packing up and driving to my family’s farm. Every year my mom, sis, sister-in-law and I spend a couple of blissful days off, just padding around the kitchen in our slippers and yoga pants, baking holiday treats and singing (slightly off-key) to loud Christmas music. To say that we keep it pretty casual is an understatement.

But on Christmas Eve, we always get a little fancy. Wine. Cheese. All kinds of beautiful, delicious appetizers. And this year, I’m excited to bring something new to the table: Holiday Honey Lemon Punch!

So festive. So fresh. So fun. Best of all, it’s really simple to make this gorgeous, sweet-tart holiday punch, made with Honey Lemon Drink Mixer. (Which, I might add, is $1 off exclusively today, December 17!)

Toss ‘em into the pitcher, along with 1 (12 ounce) package of fresh cranberries. Chill at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Serve
When you’re ready to serve, pour the lemon mixture into a punch bowl or large beverage dispenser. Add 3 liters chilled club soda, and stir. Simple, right?

And by the way, if you don’t own a big punch bowl (or if you’re like me and you forgot that you loaned your lemonade dispenser to a friend!), just divide your concentrated lemon mixture equally between two pitchers. Then add 1½ liters club soda to each one before serving. Easy-peasy!
